'Clash of Clans' September 2016 update, news: Clan Challenge to replace Clan Wars?

(Facebook/ClashofClans)"Clash of Clans" is rumored to release an update this month.

Fans of Supercell's "Clash of Clans" are in for a treat this month as the company is currently working on some major updates to the game. The update is expected to arrive sometime this September and among the new features is a Clan Challenge.

According to a forum, Supercell is apparently planning a new game feature called Clan Challenge. This will allow Clans to "issue a friendly War request to any other Clan daring to accept the challenge!"

Players already know that there are Clan Wars in the game. However, this is designed to be quite different from Clan Wars. In fact, Supercell has specifically pointed out that they do not intend to replace Clan Wars with Clan Challenge. Players who are in the midst of a Clan War will not be able to participate in a Clan Challenge.

With Clan Challenge, players can select participants who will take part in the battle. Players will be able to adjust the duration of the preparation, as well as the battle, before issuing a Clan Challenge request. Preparations will start the moment the other Clan accepts the challenge.

Supercell is apparently having a hard time keeping its numbers up when it comes to daily active users. Ever since "Pokémon GO" was released not too long ago, "Clash of Clans" has been experiencing a dwindling player base. Thus, many believe that the upcoming September update is intended to lure back players and maybe even attract some new ones.

As previously reported, the September update is also expected to give players a lot of freebies like gems. It is also set to introduce a new mode that players will be able to enjoy. Currently, there are three modes: Single Player, Friendly Challenge, and Money Player. The new mode has not been leaked yet, so not a lot is known about it.

Since some of these rumors have yet to be confirmed by Supercell, readers should take this news with a grain of salt for now.
